ChainA collection of adjacent edges and curves that share common endpoints. Chains can be open-ended or closed-loop, but they are always defined by two ends.

Surface SetA collection of surface patches from solids or quilts. The patches do not need to be adjacent.

IndividualConstructed by selecting individual entities (edges, curves, or surface patches) one at a time. This is also called the One-by-One method.

Rule-BasedConstructed by first selecting an anchor entity (edge, curve, or surface patch), and then automatically selecting its neighbors (a range of additional edges, curves, or surface patches) based on a rule. This is also called the Anchor/Neighbor method.

From-ToTo select a range of edges from a surface patch or a quilt:

TangentTo select all the edges that are tangent to an anchor edge:

1 Select an edge

2 Hold down SHIFT

3 Highlight Tangent chain (Query may be required)

4 Select tangent chain

5 Release SHIFT

BoundaryTo select the outermost boundary edges of a quilt:

1 Select a one-sided edge of a quilt

2 Hold down SHIFT

3 Highlight Boundary chain (Query may be required)

4 Select boundary chain
